Lords division · 9 Oct 2002 · No. 2

Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Bill

It was moved by the Lord Bishop of Portsmouth, in Clause 15, page 9, line 32, at end to insert “, and (c) there is a place available in an appropriate maintained school for any dependant of school age”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 1

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 1 vote. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

The party breakdowns are our own analysis of the official voting records (recorded votes only; they do not describe the formal whip). How we work this out.

Peers attend divisions ad hoc, so there is no did-not-vote list. Tellers are counted in the Content and Not Content totals, unlike in the Commons.

Tellers: The Lord Bishop of Winchester (Content), Baroness Harris of Richmond (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
